Eugene David
...The One-Minute Pundit

Wednesday, October 29, 2008


I just came across this on ESPN.com, from its Magazine, from Rick Reilly, about the revered basketball coach John Wooden:

He never made more than $35,000 a year, including 1975, the year he won his 10th national championship, and never asked for a raise.

Saccharine nostalgia will not do, but dammit, we've lost something.

P. S. He's 98 now, and from all accounts he has lived a truly good life in every way.
